Bill Summary
To (1) change statutory references to "accessory apartments" to "accessory dwelling units", and (2) specify that towns, districts or utilities may not require separate utility connections for accessory apartments pursuant to special act zoning regulations.
AI Summary
This bill updates terminology by changing references from "accessory apartments" to "accessory dwelling units" (ADUs), which are separate living spaces within or attached to a primary home. A key provision is that towns, districts, or utilities are now prohibited from requiring separate utility connections for ADUs that are built under special zoning regulations. This aims to streamline the process and reduce costs associated with creating ADUs, which are intended to increase housing options.
